CCSF Shining Stars Hosted by Carol Fregly at Delancey Street

Carol Fregly generously treated sixteen of us to dinner at Delancey Street last night--honoring CCSF Shining Stars, her former students who distinguished themselves in her classes before her retirement and who went on to get their MAs or MBAs in fields like Speech Pathology and Business and are continuing to do exciting things like helping communities in Peru and  Emerites with food-related infrastructure.

She also included Jackie Green, Sam and Hilda Yee, other friends and retired colleagues
, her zumba teacher and her teacher's daughter, a pianist she met while they were both out walking their dog in Pacifica.  We had the chance to chat informally and hear philosophies like that of a former Vietnamese-American who emphasized the importance of not putting more than one event a day on the calendar and doing only what we enjoy doing.  He was enjoying retirement.

CCSF Outreach at Sunday Streets in the Mission



It was a beautiful day for CCSF outreach in the Mission. We were on Valencia between 15th and 16th Streets.

Here you see student ambassador Moises with another student ambassador and Ronald Wolff of the Child Development Department. Moises later helped at the CCSF Innovation Conference at the Marriot. 

Greg Richardson interviewed Moises in Spanish and Danny in English. 

I met Hunter, a cadet who will be starting CCSF in the fall to get his degree in Administrative Justice. 

The fourth picture shows one of the CCSF students who came by (now studying sculpture at CCSF) with Danny, who organizes Sunday Streets for CCSF. 

Former students came  by, some saying "I love City College." 

 Danny Halford did the organizing, and Jim Wong, a counselor, and Lillian Ho, a retiree,  helped get the tables, chairs, and material there and back. Fred Teti came to set up, and Edgar Torres of Latin American Studies, Ronald Wolff of Child Development, and Martha Elizabeth Arroyo-Neves (librarian) were also there while I was there. 

Elgy Gilespie, Josie Loo, and Carole Meagher came later.
